I seriously can't spread the word enough about Shimmerz, i am so blessed to work with a company i believe in wholeheartedly! The sprays/paints are AMAZING! Just try it , and you will be as hooked as I am :) And what better time than now! When you order Shimmerz now, just mention my name (even my blog) when you checkout, and then also tell the wonderful Stacey the FREE paint /spray you would like! That easy! So hurry along now :)

Hey lovely ladies :) Well i did another layout!!! woohooo Lol. And i have to say, i really had fun with this one! i spent a LOT of time on the background. I really wanted to do lots of texture and technique. The base paper is Websters Pages and i layered different colors of tissue paper, some blue , some pink, some cream with script on them. I used gel medium and just layered it all over the paper. After it was dry i misted like crazy! I used very subtle mists though :) Let it dry over night and ironed it back flat (boy it was warped Lol) and then added my masking on top. the pix just don't do justice to the depth and texture on there.

I also printed out my pictures on transparency film, then backed them on script paper so it showed through :) I used lots of yummy Imaginarium Chipboard pieces! Being on their DT is a dream come true! So yeah, thats about it Lol :) I also added lots of hints of metal in there to break up the girliness a bit :) Nuts and screws and bolts. Stuff you wouldn't expect to find.

Hey everyone, I'm here with a project for Discount Paper Crafts Etsy store. I altered these paper mache letters, and let me tell you I had so much fun! Lots of fun techniques and metal! This will be picture heavy Lol, also will be doing a couple tuts on certain parts of this. Hope you all like it, and at the bottom of the post i will have product description with links back to Cathie's store. Hugs!

I used hot glue and tons of shimmerz products to create the background of the "L"

I used metal foil tape on the "O" and stamped a gorgeous lady image on acetate for the center of the O.

The "V" is totally inspired by Finnabair! obviously Lol!

On the "E" i used hot glue to create the pattern i wanted then covered it with metal foil tape. I will be doing a tutorial on this!

Hey lovely ladies! Here today to share a special project, that I had created for my honey on Christmas! Of course i had to go grunge for his gift, but that girly part of me had to add some Iamroses goodness Lol. I don't think i went to craaaaazy with the IAR though. This is super interactive so this will be very photo heavy to show the deets! As always you can get all the flowers and leaves at Iamroses and at the bottom of the post will be product description with a link back to the store. Hugs!
